Chapter 7
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will eliminate all your unsecured debt. There are a few exceptions,
such as student loans, certain taxes and child support obligations. However, not everyone
qualifies for a Chapter 7. If you make over a certain gross amount you may not be able to
do this type of bankruptcy. If you have property worth above the allowed exemptions, you
may not want to do a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Chapter 13
Chapter 13 will stop a foreclosure. Over a period of 3 to 5 years you can catch up on your
arrearages. The amount that you repay on your unsecured debt is determined by either
your income and/or non-exempt assets.
Initial Meeting
At our meeting we will determine which type of bankruptcy is best for you.
